Objectives: Securing the parturient airway is essential during general anesthesia for cesarean delivery. The purpose of this study was to compare inferior airway views provided by the use of three commonly available laryngoscopy blades-Macintosh, Miller, or Glidescope Mac-Style-to the incidence of difficult orotracheal intubation.
Methods: Following institutional review board approval, data from 449 electronic medical records in parturients undergoing general anesthesia for cesarean delivery were extracted during a 6-year period.

Background: An optimal endotracheal tube curve can be a key factor in successful intubation using the GlideScope videolaryngoscope.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of tube tip-modified stylet curve on the intubation time in children.
Methods: Children aged 1-5 years were randomly assigned to either the standard curve (group S, n = 60) or tip-modified curve (group T, n = 60) groups.

Background: The challenges posed by the spread of COVID-19 disease through aerosols have compelled anesthesiologists to modify their airway management practices. Devices such as barrier boxes are being considered as potential adjuncts to full PPE's to limit the aerosol spread. Usage of the barrier box raises concerns of delay in time to intubate (TTI).

Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York, U.S.A.
Objectives/hypothesis: Video laryngoscopy has grown tremendously in popularity over the last decade for management of the anticipated difficult airway. The use of video laryngoscopy has not been adequately studied in the head and neck pathology patient population, including those with masses, previous head and neck surgery, or radiation.
Study Design: Prospective observational study.
